I already upgraded the firmware to the latest level v.1.5

Few days ago I read some information about memory tweaking on my PC / USB ESXi 4.0 whitebox. I got the this hardware configuration at home:
- Asus P6T SE (HCL)
- Intel Core I7 920 2.66 GHz, 4.8 GT/s, 4x 256kb, 8 MB, Boxed
- OCZ Gold 6 GB, PC3-12800, 1600 MHz, 8, Non-ECC, Kit Of 3
- OCZ Fatal1ty 700 Watt, 20+24 Pins, 80 Plus Rating
- Network Intel® PRO/1000 PT Dual Port Server Adapter
- 2x Samsung SpinPoint F1 1 TB, 7200 Rpm, 32 MB, S-ATA II/300
- Antec Gamersgear Twelve Hundred Black
- XFX GeForce GTX 275
- Samsung SH-S222A DVD-writer 22x
- Storage ESXi: cheap NAS, nothing special, only too slow
